PFOA was used for decades to make DuPont's Teflon coating, a nonstick surface for frying pans and other applications, and in 3Ms Scotchgard carpet protectant. Under EPA pressure, the companies agreed to phase out the chemicals beginning in 2000.
In February, DuPont and its spin-off Chemours agreed to pay $671 million to settle more than 3,500 lawsuits involving the leaks of PFOA from its plant in Parkersburg, West Virginia, into community water supplies.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74072774 ^ THIS ^ They've killed us all. I've been ghosted and banned every time I tried posting about it. Nat Geo did a documentary on us last month. Lawyers in the suit won't even call you back. My wife has three of the illnesses, has had surgeries, etc, etc. I have two, maybe more. What are they doing with the money? They sure as heck don't want any clients. We are the walking dead. It's not just one town, water for a 50 mile radius is full of the crap. Same problems in Delaware. Google up 'see eight', except use the letter C and the number 8, together, like seeeight. (trying not to be banned) That sucks, man. I hope things work out in the end for you. Thank you. Oh I'm sure it will work out, I'll get a box, a hole in the ground, and a headstone, then the suffering is over for me. The doctors don't even know what to do with us, besides give us a flu shot, a pneumonia shot, and some statins. I like how they said this stuff "seeped" into the ground. Like it was a bit of a drip or something. No, first they pumped it into a landfill on top of a hill. But today, I can take a pic of the waterfall going into the Ohio river where the stuff has been flowing for decades. The NatGeo program outlines how this really began, but kinda stops short of the present story. It began with the landfill on the hill, the stuff coming out of the hill into a creek, the farmers cows getting sick, the farmer getting sick, and dying. The coverups, the runarounds. Love Canal was an ice cream social. I was remiss in not thanking the OP for posting this thread. Thank you, 'Dude'. You accomplished what I could not. The word is out there, but has never really hit the news as one might think it should. I've tried posting it, but might have used too many links to validate the info, not sure what got me banned. An interesting note to the cookware, there's also a thing called t e f l o n flu, it happens when you overheat your frying pan. I've read it will kill birds if you have any as pets, and of course will make you sick as hell.
